At night, Young Master Du stood alone at the edge of the harbor. The sea breeze, carrying a slightly salty scent, brushed against his face, but it could not dispel the heavy gloom in his heart.
His eyes gleamed with an indescribable light—arrogance, confidence, and a resolute determination in the face of what was to come.
"Running alone? What's the fun in that?" Young Master Du sneered inwardly. He was never afraid of loneliness, but he knew even better how to enjoy the sweetness of fighting side by side with his lover.
Without hesitation, he flagged down a taxi and drove straight to the place that had once been filled with warmth and laughter, but could now become a battlefield—his girlfriend's home.
Outside the car window, the city lights were dim, but Du Gongzi's heart was as cold as ice.
He wasn't unaware of the truth, but he was unwilling to face it until he saw and heard it with his own eyes and ears, at which point his self-deceiving calm completely collapsed.
Upon arriving at the apartment building, Mr. Du looked up at the familiar window. The light was dim and warm, yet so dazzling that he could barely open his eyes.
He could almost see the figures moving inside, and every subtle movement seemed to leave a scar on his heart.
He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, as if trying to inhale all his anger and resentment into his lungs, transforming it into an invisible force that would support him as he walked toward the door that was about to reveal the truth.
The surroundings were quiet, with only the occasional sound of the night wind and the heavy, firm footsteps of Young Master Du.
He knew the purpose of his trip and was aware of the potential consequences, but he was fearless because in his heart, love and loyalty could not be tainted.
When he finally stood before that door, his fingers lightly resting on the doorknob, at that moment, he seemed to hear his own heartbeat, intertwining with the unbearable sounds from inside, forming a mournful symphony.
That sound—even a fool would know what it meant. To Young Master Du, it was like a sharp knife piercing his heart.
“She actually…” Young Master Du’s eyes instantly turned sharp, filled with the anger of betrayal and the complete collapse of his trust in himself.
He never imagined that the woman who had sworn eternal love to him and promised to weather any storm with him would do something so despicable while he was away.
This anger, like a volcanic eruption, was unstoppable and impossible to suppress.
However, Young Master Du did not rush in immediately. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
In that room gently enveloped by the night, Lin Bei was reclining on the large sofa with an almost arrogant air, a smug smile on his lips, a smile that concealed a hint of cunning and the pride of a victor.
Beside him was a beautiful woman, nestled in his arms. Both of them bore the marks of their passionate encounter, and an indescribable air of ambiguity filled the atmosphere.
"Haha, Young Master Du, no matter how powerful you are, you have ultimately been defeated by me, Lin Bei." Lin Bei thought to himself with a sense of pride, his eyes flashing with an almost manic joy.
In his view, the world seemed to have paved the way for him. As soon as Young Master Du disappeared, everything he owned, including his wealth, status, and even the glory and accolades that once belonged only to Young Master Du, would fall into his own hands.
In his last encounter with Young Master Du, Lin Bei suffered a great loss, not only losing face but also nearly losing a leg.
The fear and humiliation of that night remain a lingering shadow in his heart.
But today, everything is different. Young Master Du is wanted and his whereabouts are unknown. For Lin Bei, this is undoubtedly the best opportunity bestowed by heaven.
He not only wanted to reclaim everything he had lost, but also to exact revenge and let Young Master Du know the consequences of betraying him.
The room was a chaotic mess, like a battlefield.
Various clothes were scattered on the sofa, some torn to shreds, others carelessly discarded, as if telling the story of the fierce and frenzied "battle" that had just taken place.
On the floor were various marks left by the two men's fierce battle: shards of wine glasses and food scraps. They shimmered eerily in the dim light, making the whole room appear even more chaotic.
Lin Bei didn't care about any of that. He enjoyed the thrill of the chaos, as if it would prove his victory and his strength.
He gently stroked the woman's hair beside him, his eyes filled with tenderness and contentment. At that moment, he felt as if he possessed the whole world.
"Darling, do you know what? That kid, Young Master Du, is finished. The whole city is after him. His wealth and status will soon be mine. Then we can finally live a life that's truly ours, without having to sneak around or live in fear anymore." Lin Bei's words carried a hint of boasting and smugness; he seemed to already see his bright future ahead.
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes, but more so, she looked forward to and anticipated the future.
She nestled gently in Lin Bei's arms, feeling the warmth and strength emanating from his body, and her heart was filled with a sense of security.
She knew that as long as she followed Lin Bei, she could have everything she wanted.
However, they were unaware that danger was quietly approaching.
Right outside the door, Young Master Du stood with a calm and resolute demeanor, his eyes flashing with an unprecedented chill.
He heard sounds coming from inside, saw the faint light shining through the slightly ajar door, and the messy state of the room.
All of this fueled his anger even more, and he was determined to kill.
"Lin Bei, do you think you've won? You're wrong. The real contest has only just begun." Young Master Du muttered to himself, his fingers tapping lightly on the doorframe, producing a rhythmic sound, as if he were keeping time for his upcoming revenge.
He knew he was wanted and in danger, but that did not deter his determination to seek revenge.
He had his own plans and his own methods. He believed that as long as he didn't give up, one day he would make Lin Bei pay the price for what he had done.
Young Master Du took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, his eyes becoming even more determined.
He gently pushed open the door and stepped into the messy and chaotic room. His figure appeared exceptionally tall and majestic in the dim light.
He looked at Lin Bei and the woman, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth—a smile brimming with confidence in victory.
"Lin Bei, are you ready? Our game has only just begun." Young Master Du's voice was deep and powerful, like a call from the depths of hell, sending chills down one's spine.
